My Kids Have Been Vegan Since Conception — “Why Isn’t Everybody Else Vegan?” | Maribeth Abrams

That was the question asked by Maribeth’s children — who have been vegan since conception.

In this conversation, Maribeth shares her journey of going vegan in 1993 and raising two children vegan for their entire lives — not through force or fear, but by teaching critical thinking, informed choice, and compassion.

This interview explores:
• What it means to raise children vegan from birth
• How to teach kids how to think, not what to think
• Navigating school, doctors, family gatherings, and social pressure
• Health outcomes of lifelong veganism
• Why veganism can feel obvious once you truly question it

Rather than asking “why be vegan?”, this conversation flips the script — and challenges deeply ingrained assumptions about food, culture, health, and ethics.

🌱 This is not about perfection.
🌱 It’s about awareness, choice, and raising thoughtful humans.

This Doctor Went Vegan In 1991 — And Proved It Reverses Disease; Dr Ted Barnett

What happens when a medical doctor goes vegan in 1991 — before it was popular — and actually tracks the results for decades?

Dr. Ted Barnett is a lifestyle medicine physician who made the switch more than 30 years ago, raised his children vegan, published data, and watched biomarkers change in ways most people were told were “impossible.”

In this conversation, Dr. Barnett explains:
• Why he went vegan in 1991
• What medical school got wrong about heart disease
• How cholesterol can drop dramatically in weeks
• Why food can reverse disease — not just manage it
• What 30+ years of real-world data actually shows

This is not ideology. It’s lived experience, peer-reviewed evidence, and outcomes measured over decades.

Whether you’re skeptical, curious, or already plant-based, this interview challenges some of the most common assumptions about diet, disease, and modern medicine.

Watch with an open mind. Decide for yourself.
